Came across this man down a side street. He's a shoe maker working out of this tiny little shed, as you can see from the 1000's of shoe carvings behind him he's been there a while.

Cuisinart Waffle Maker....
Making Waffles!
One of my 7 year old twins loves to be "Little Chef". Ever since the movie, "Ratatouille", we have owned this apron and chef's hat that came with the dvd we purchased. On Saturdays and Sundays, Aidan always wants to be "Little Chef" and help us in the kitchen. Today was "Super Bowl Sunday", and the most glorious, sunny and brilliant day in the Bay Area in a while. Everyone was out in DROVES! It was amazing. My Little Chef helped make waffles today, while his Dad went on a planned, "secret" 4 hour hike to see waterfalls with 2 of his co-workers, leaving me home with the kids. So... we had fun, making waffles and going on our own hike at Loma Alta after our yummy breakfast.

Following a couple of days trackside to start my October trip to Kentucky, on Friday afternoon it was off to Loretto for the tour of the Makers Mark distillery. They've made quite a few additions since my last visit in 2010 (although sad to see they haven't put my name on a building yet even after all the product I've purchased over the years:)), and the tour is still very good and definitely worth a stop in when hitting up the Bourbon Trail. Fall colors were right about at their peak, so after the tour grabbed a few slides of the very picturesque grounds.
Afterwards headed over to Lexington for the Auburn-Kentucky game on Saturday, which AU won 24-10. Trains, bourbon, and Auburn football made for quite a nice 40th birthday trip!
A sign at the Maker Faire in San Mateo, May 2009. Rocket launchers and robotic warships on the same sign. What's not to like?
Maker Faire 2017 was bigger, louder and hotter than previous years. Many of the attractions were still the same, but they felt more grown up. I particularly enjoyed the illuminated art in the Dark Room, such as Peter Hudson’s 3D Stroboscopic Zoetrope. I also enjoyed all the ingenious robot exhbits and the Traveling Spectacular’s vaudeville performance
I gave a talk about our Maker Art classes on Sunday morning. We teach children to create magical worlds together, combining art, tech and storytelling. Our students get really engaged in the process, which helps them develop their creative, problem-solving and social skills.
The presentation was well received by a great group of teachers, parents and kids. I connected with several librarians and teachers interested in teaching Maker Art in their communities. And one mom reached out to me afterwards to say this was the best talk she heard this year.
Maker Faire remains the Mecca for Bay Area DIY hobbyists and it was well worth the trip for me. I made some good connections after my talk and learned more about robots for our next classes. Onwards!

About
littleBits, a growing library of preassembled circuitboards, made easy by tiny magnets!
littleBits is an opensource library of discrete electronic components pre-assembled in tiny circuit boards. Just as Legos allow you to create complex structures with very little engineering knowledge, littleBits are simple, intuitive, space-sensitive blocks that make prototyping with sophisticated electronics a matter of snapping small magnets together. With a growing number of available modules, littleBits aims to move electronics from late stages of the design process to its earliest ones, and from the hands of experts, to those of artists, makers and designers.
Stay tuned, design files, schematics and instructions will be online soon.
